Family-friendly spot by the river Hem, a half-hour drive from Calais
Surrounded by the Caps et Marais d’Opale Regional Natural Park
Dogs welcome; playground, restaurant, games room and activities

A half-hour’s drive from Calais, Camping L’Orée des Caps is a top location for a family holiday in northern France, or for an easy stopover. This family-friendly site in the Caps et Marais d’Opale Regional Natural Park puts you within easy driving distance of sandy beaches and relaxed coastal walks. You'll also be well placed for history-rich hikes along the GR145/Via Francigena path, a pilgrims' route that links Canterbury to Rome and passes only a few hundred metres from the site, or trips to the heritage attractions of Saint-Omer (half an hour's drive). The level grass pitches at this site are well maintained and surrounded by tall hedges for privacy. There's plenty of scope to be sociable when you feel like it though, thanks to a range of organised activities – from karaoke sessions and sociable dinners to fitness sessions and pétanque tournaments. There’s also a lawn with a volleyball net, a games room with table football, and an outdoor play area with climbing structures and a basketball hoop. Dogs are welcome at this site, and you should find plenty of dog-friendly walks along the banks of the river Hem, which borders the property. The on-site restaurant serves classic French dishes like croques monsieurs and crêpes, as well as pizzas, though the house speciality is an aperitif board that almost groans under the weight of assorted cheeses, cold cuts and gherkins. If you’d rather make your own food, you should be able to buy all you need in the town of Licques (five minutes), which also has a couple of bakeries and restaurants.

Local attractions

This location in the Caps et Marais d’Opale Regional Natural Park makes a good starting point for all sorts of walks, whether you like a short stroll or a longer hike. The natural park has more than 20 waymarked trails, as well as some options for gentle wanders in places like Audomarois nature reserve or Forêt de Tournehem (both 15 minutes’ drive). For other outdoor activities nearby, rent pedal boats at Lac d’Ardres, go fishing at Etangs de Balinghem or climb into the trees at Adventure Course Guines (all 15 minutes); you could also pedal along the track at Le Rando-Rail du Pays du Lumbres (20 minutes) or take a relaxed wander around Saint Joseph Village (20 minutes), designed to recreate mid-20th-century life. Over at the coast, you’ll have a great choice of beaches such as those at Boulogne-sur-Mer (half an hour) and Le Touquet (50 minutes); Boulogne-sur-Mer also has the Nausicaà aquarium to visit, or you could head to the Museum Dunkerque 1940 Operation Dynamo (55 minutes).
